Fun Paris Experience
Brigit_W, Apr 2024
Luke was very helpful, fun, and knowledgeable about all things France and food. I would recommend this experience for something different to do while in Paris.
Highly Recommend!
Pamela_C, Apr 2024
I highly recommend this cooking class at Le Foodist in Paris. Our chef was Frédéric, who was fun and explained everything in a way that even a not-very-good cook like me could understand. He actually has gotten me excited about cooking again. The meal was the best we had on our two week trip in Europe by far- and we ate at many fine restaurants! We met some really nice folks as well. I can’t wait to make this dishes at home.
A good class and fun time for beginners and people who like to cook.
Bryan_D, Apr 2024
Luke did a very good job with his instructions to the class. He kept everyone on task and doing their part so that in the end we all enjoyed a well planned meal. Fun social experience.
This was an excellent way to spend a day in Paris
Michelle_B, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful time with Chef Frederick. We enjoyed walking to the market and looking at all of the organic foods that the local Parisians have the ability to buy. The cheese shop he took us to was incredible. We got all of the ingredients to cook all day and we had a great time. We had a wonderful lunch, and learned some great tips along the way. This is most definitely an activity I would do again. Should we return to Paris.
Wonderful experience learning French cooking.
Nicole_G, Apr 2024
It was definitely worth going on the market trip. It was interesting to see and learn (and taste) the different cheeses. The market was beautiful and preparing and cooking the meals was wonderful. Our guide and chef, Fred was fun, knowledgable, and helpful. I highly recommend this class!
A Wonderful Day of Cooking & Learning!
Jennifer_A, Apr 2024
Wow, what a great day of cooking! We learned so much about the culinary history of France by walking to the market, trying local cheeses (which were so delicious), and going through the recipes step by step. Everyone got to participate in the cooking process as we all were given jobs. Even my 16 year old teenage boy enjoyed learning how to make scalloped potatoes. He was so happy to eat what he made. Thank you Luke for providing a memorable day for the grandmothers in our group down to our teenagers!
Excellent experience!!
Michael_C, Apr 2024
The class was excellent!! Frederick was a gem! Funny and knowledgeable! The food was great and we learned a lot. Don't miss this class!!!
Fun, informative and yum
maryanne_m, Apr 2024
My 2 adult daughters and I spent 6 hours with Luc, the chef. I love to cook and found that the cooking techniques that were taught and food prep tips were ones that I could and will add to my what I do already and hopefully help me to level up. Great experience.
Top quality school. Six hours of cooking/training.
Mark_M, Apr 2024
Six hours long. Loads of food and wine. For folks really into cooking and learning. Market tour is a must. Host was amazing. School was spotless. Worth the money.
Exceeded all expectations!
John_K, Apr 2024
What a great introduction to Paris and French cooking! Our chef, Frederick, was the best. He was informative, engaging, funny and made the whole experience not one to be missed. DO NOT SKIP the trip to the market. There was a perfect balance of learning cooking methods without feeling like you were doing all of the work to make the perfect gourmet meal. In addition to learning interesting new tips and methods, there was plenty of time to kick back, enjoy some wine, and engage with Frederick and the others in the group (our group was terrific by the way). And ultimately, the food was awesome and (with the help of the recipes emailed afterwards) we will be making these dishes at home. We could not recommend this activity more.
FABULOUS!!!
Lisa_B, Mar 2024
Wonderful, delightful Chef Frederik. Delicious menu with excellent instruction. Beautiful setting. Highlight was a market visit with the Chef at the beginning of the tour which was not expected, but a wonderful surprise. Our app said it was a 3-hour experience but it was 6-hours, so plan accordingly. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Fantastic cooking adventure

magnifique!
Shannon_C, Mar 2024
Everything was amazing—from the market tasting, hands on cooking and finally our celebration and eating of our food creations! Chef Paulo was informative, friendly and professional! We (3 from the US) would highly recommend this experience to all!
Fantastic experience with Fred at Le Foodist
Jack_S, Mar 2024
Fred was such a intelligent and comforting host, he was able to teach techniques with great depth. He was also an absolute gentleman and very funny! If you want a mixture of history, teaching, and comfort look no further than Le foodist! By the end of it, the group felt like a great big family!
Excellent Class and Delicious Food
Emily_A, Mar 2024
This class was so much fun! Luc was lovely and shared a wealth of information. I really enjoyed going to the market first and learning about shopping for French veggies and cheeses, and then using those in our meal. My classmates were all so great to cook with, and I wish that I could have stayed for the whole meal (my poor planning w/my train tickets). The coq au vin, au gratin potatoes, cauliflower soup, and poached pears were better that anything I had in a restaurant on this trip. I can’t wait to go home and recreate it for my friends and family!
Great day in Paris!
schankfamily, Mar 2024
From the market to preparing all the fabulous courses, and eating the delicious meal, this was a day to remember.
Take a class with Luke!
Dakota_D, Feb 2024
Luke is the best! We had a great time - learned a bunch, and most importantly, our meal came out delicious! We are excited to practice what Luke taught us back home in the States. Thank you for such a special day, Luke!!!!!

Luke was wonderful. The venue was very nice. It ran a little long. Food was good. I feel he could have used an assistant. He was very busy!
